    E-Sommet bearing numbers and torque values (incl headset bearing info and rear thru axle spec)

    Some bearings are designed around a specific quantity of grease and overfilling can in fact kill them. However as these bearing don't rapidly rotate and are load bearing you can pack them out with a marine style grease which can help, its a good idea not to mix greases so best to thoroughly...

    Who’s kept their acoustic bike and why?

    I kept my normal bike to ride with my non E-bike M8s, do uplift days, some of my "rides" are hike a bike and a nightmare carrying a 23Kg bike up tough massive steep scrambles etc. Also to maintain my drive for fitness.. You don't need to maintain a high fitness level for your Ebike so for me the...

    Total weight limit.

    I had a look and I can't find anything either specifically for the Vitus... though I did see what I assume is your question on Wiggle. I found some general weights which are in the range of 21 St (136Kg, ~300 Lbs).. It doesn't differentiate between Full Suspension or Hardtail though and I'd...

    Noob question. Will my Vitus e-Escarpe from CRC come with pedals?

    It should come with a set of flat pedals. However the pedals are not the best and usually it's a good idea to get a better set and keep the included ones as an emergency spare set IMO. I tend to use Nukeproof Horizons or OneUp pedals for flats usually but it's a very personal thing what people...

    What new grips to replace stock?

    I'd check your suspension is set up ok and unlikely but check the headset isn't ever so slightly loose. I've had issues in the past with arm pump an use Revgrips as they help me a fair bit. They are very expensive comparatively and fiddly to setup but to me it's worth the cost for reduced arm...

    Display stuck off

    The LCD screen in the display could just be dead but it's still actually working... and yes the BT connection is Via the Display and it needs power. So the App can tell you if the Display is getting power, if it turns on you know battery to motor power is ok... so you know to check power from...

    Display stuck off

    The E-Tube app would have helped and probably narrowed this down to the cable or display before you even started IMO. Ultimately power up the bike and see what devices show up in E-Tube (Motor/Display/Switch) would have been extremely useful in trouble shooting and personally it would have been...

    How to ride a Vitus E Sommet

    Looks like a shiny sticker.. probably covering custom top tube decals. He deliberately doesn't say who it is and stays silent so you can't hear his voice.. so he must have a reason. I also suspect that's possibly the new Fox 38 on the front. Definitely well planned and very early to get free...

    How to ride a Vitus E Sommet

    Pretty sure this is an E Sommet and got a pretty good idea who it is.. but if you know the descents then it's very impressive as even with the Gopro effect you can tell how gnarly these are and at the speed he's hitting it at.... The rider skill alongside how much punishment the E bikes taking...

    Rear triangle alignment 2019 e-sommet

    I agree with STATO and fit the wheel. I'd also check the HORST link seat stay / Chain stay pivot Torques as they are supposed to be really low @ ~6 Nm.. either way loosen them off and see if it aligns.

    Canyon Spectral:ON 2020 - Still waiting!!!!?

    What Torque in Nm did you set them to? Those bolts look like Aluminium to me so that's a clue that they are probably not high Torques .. my guess would be in the 10-20Nm range and certainly do not go any higher than what the manufacturer says. The chewed up bolt looks like you've either used a...

    Battery at 9% and then dies

    I'd say the 9% has a quite large error margin on it and it has a safety margin built in to protect the battery as it needs power remaining for the battery control circuitry. So if it allowed you to run it totally flat then you store it for months without charging you could kill the battery. Less...

    Esommet 2019 deore chain length?

    E Sommet clicking noise

    Glad you found the issue.. I'm really surprised your bike shipped with the pedals on... ATBH who actually uses the pedals they supply :).. great emergency set for the van if someone needs but to use as your daily driver? The damage could have been a manufacturing defect? I don't find the BB...

    E Sommet clicking noise

    Even with our own bikes in the flesh it can be difficult to narrow down the reason for a noise as there are so many possibilities and they sometimes are really good at sounding like they are coming from somewhere they are not. Some more possibilities listening to the "type" of noise is...

    E-Sommet 2020 DPX2 volume spacers

    IME with DPX2s is they are not that progressive and benefit from the correct size Volume Spacer. As you say your not hitting anything that would reveal it needs it but the first time it happens you'll be putting it back in :)

    E-Sommet Rockshox 35 lockout issue

    I personally never use lockout on the front fork on any bike, I used to many years ago but all that happens is you forget to unlock it so you learn to just leave it open IME. Suspension doesn't just soak up the bumps it helps your wheels track and remain in contact with the ground and it's why...

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    I've had my E8010 for about 15 months. I ran the battery to exhaustion soon after I got the bike on a specific series of loops, I ran the same a couple of days ago and got very similar result just staying in Eco 95% (it was warmer than my first test though). So personally I'm not seeing any...

    Vitus ESommet Vrs finally here- problems

    Check the battery doesn't move forward and back... it should be rock solid.. most people I know have had to set the clamp correctly (you need to get the battery off to set the clamp distance) though you could be lucky and its been setup for a tight fit. I had to set the clamp spacing out of the...
